Yuval Sharon’s brand-new production of Die Zauberflöte at Staatsoper Berlin marks the first new production of this beloved opera by Mozart at this lovingly-restored baroque theatre on Unter den Linden in a quarter of a century following August Everding’s storybook production which, by the way, is still retained in the company’s repertoire.
